Brussels Sprouts with Bacon-Horseradish Cream

Description:

These tangy horseradish-cream-topped Brussels sprouts are just the thing to serve with corned beef and potatoes, or alongside a holiday ham or turkey. Look for sprouts with tight, firm, small deep-green heads; if they’re still on the stalk, so much the better. To prepare, peel off outer leaves and trim the stems. Double it: Steam the Brussels sprouts in a Dutch oven instead of a saucepan.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

4 strips crisp-cooked bacon, finely chopped

1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

2 teaspoons prepared horseradish

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preparation:

1

Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan, add 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Put Brussels sprouts in the basket and steam until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

2

Mix bacon, sour cream, horseradish, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.
